Use of intended

No. Those are misuses of "intended". Look up "willing" and "determined". Maybe you're trying to work with those concepts?

Thanks, CJ.

I want to share with you that intended is common this way in Indian English. I just decided to check how it sounded to native ears.

Regards,

Tom

Mr. Tomintended is common this way in Indian English.

Very interesting. Is it more like "willing" or "determined" or like something else I might be more familiar with?

CJ

Mr. TomHe doesn't seem intended to give up the fight.

Does it have anything to do with "the intention to do something"?

Yes, CJ. In Indian English, many speakers use "intended" in the sense of willing/ready to take some particular action. Even magazine writers.

Does it sound odd or plain wrong to your native ears?

The minister seemed intended enough to...

Hi

There is one English usage that I can think of that is like that:

- I spend Sunday afternoons with Anne's family, now that she is my intended
(=now that she is to be my wife)

It's a very specific usage - I don't know why you can use it in that way to mean fiancée or fiancé
